Synopsis

Quote: In 1995, mysterious top-secret black-and-white footage, supposedly filmed during the 1947 Roswell incident, was broadcast around the world. It showed the autopsy of an alien lifeform. The men responsible for the discovery of the footage, buddies Ray (Declan Donnelly) and Gary (Ant McPartlin), are thrown into intense media scrutiny. But the guys have an even bigger secret. And it’s not very pretty. Based on true events, Alien Autopsy is the alternately bizarre and frequently quirky story of the two unlikely lads from London who become icons in UFOlogy with a discovery that stunned millions who’ve long searched for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Bill Pullman (Spaceballs, Independence Day) and Harry Dean Stanton (Alien) join a cast of intriguing characters in the tale of the mystery that, in one sense at least, was truly out of this world.

This was produced in the UK during 2005, and released April 2006 - a long,long time before District 9 was even considered. Oh, and District 9 was a pile of c**p anyway.

I really love it when someone (in this case dvdtakeaway) tries to wield the sword of I'm-smarter-than-you and falls flat on his face. Yes, "Alien Autopsy" was released in 2006, which predated "District 9" by three years. Look back at all the promotional materials for "Alien Autopsy" from that time, you'll find that not a single poster, advertisement, or DVD cover resembled the one pictured here - which is clearly a blatant rip-off of the "District 9" graphic work.

It has nothing to do with the plot of either film. Did you even read Pythonofdoom's message? It's really quite unbelievable how absolutely stupid you are. How does a person like you survive?

Finkelstein you're obviously a bit of a plonker. Pythonofdoom never mentioned the word ARTWORK anywhere in his post. Maybe you should try reading posts correctly before commenting. Idiot. Oh, and District 9 is still a pile of c**p.

Exactly, all these direct-to-DVD covers look like these big movie blockbusters. I saw one @ Blockbuster a while back that was basically a ripoff of Obsessed (with Beyonce). & don't get me started on how many Wanted copy-cats there were. & remember the UK's announcement of Paranormal Entity...

I mean, what's next? A Direct-to-DVD cover of a closeup of some poorly designed blue alien?

The clue was on the link on the home-page, y'know where it said "Warner Home Video has announced a 2006 film starring Ant and Dec..."

So, it would indeed appear that the makers of this film travelled forward in time, watched District 9, liked it, then travelled back to - what was for them - the present day to steal the idea before the makers of Dictrict 9 came up with it in the first place...

The Wilson Bros

I think people are mainly complaining about the District 9-inspired artwork--not so much the plot itself.

The cover is obviously trying to cap on the success of District 9. Do these directors seriously think that if you copy the look of another film, its gonna work? Okay, i'm gonna make a film called "Extreme Violence." On the artwork will be a man with a knife and a woman next to him. The man will have a black star around his eye, and an eyeball will be below him.

So, I'm guessing this direct-to-DVD release is trying to copy District 9. Why do so many direct-to-DVDs seem like copies of big blockbusters? STill though, might check this out if it is about aliens/supernatural.
